“If the world won’t just let us be, we will keep fighting for our love, for our space, for our right to be seen, accepted without question, and celebrated.

“In all honesty it’s silly to think it bothers people so much, but when privileged people base their value on attraction and relationships, it results in the plethora of relationships that look like mine being erased and delegitimized.

“Like somehow I don’t deserve him or our love isn’t real. We are exactly what each other wants, and guess what, our bodies are a part of that. It’s not abnormal or a fetish. It’s simply natural.”

She added: “So while you insist on yelling your insecurities and bigotry at me, realise I’m not playing the game you play any longer. I’m not playing by your rules.

“And it’s honestly sad you still are. 2018 is the year for Love that is not defined by weight, age, ability, genitalia, gender, sexuality. Not defined by race or ethnicity or religion. We’re having more fun this way anyway.”
